The correct role of government is to protect people from force, fraud and coercion. Personal safety and property rights.
Strangling an economy in regulations, red tape and lawsuits is all an attempt to redistribute wealth from makers to takers. Government is inherently Collectivism (communism) and it needs to be as limited as possible so that we can go back to enjoying a market-driven economy.
Exactly! The gov’t “produces” nothing. All it can do is redirect resources by taking from one group via taxation and giving to another by spending. The problem has morphed over the decades to the point where 49% support the other 51%. Politicians know this and use the spending to keep themselves in office by taking from the productive 49% and giving it to the unproductive 51%. Buying votes this way perpetuates the Deep State.
